a big loss of apricots

Yippeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

I've now finished with apricots!!!!

But have started on Nectarines which are smaller (which means I don't have to stand on the top of my ladder waving my hands on the air trying to reach the top branches o tip toes) but they have more leaves and the fruit is stickier and harder to take off. This means I spend more time dangling on the top pulling it off or bending over. I'm taking my flying-ballerina test in a few days as I've had so much practice thankfully I don't have to wear a tutu! I am now having fruit throwing competitions with a girl working 2 rows over though! So between my singing lessons, juggling practice and being annoyed at stupid people playing the radio, I'm also doing well at scoring. The guy working the line next to me at the moment is a punk fan!!! This means we get snippets of lines that can't be repeated. Therefore Siera (the girl I throw nectarines at, and share a room with) ends up in fits of laughter at the boys singing which unfortunately happens to be very infectious. Hopefully tomorrow I'll finish that line and we can move to apples on monday. I'm taking saturday off for a wee rest.

Other than that not much is happening. One of the Japanese girls has left and we have two more Brazilians boys with us (one in the 'girls' dorm - 'girls', only because it has been for so long a girls dorm). Eric our resident kiwi camper is back after a trip away walking between jobs. So it is all boring enough to send you to sleep.

A great wee town! And I haven't eaten fast food for at least 3 weeks. How strange! I cook all my meals but I don't think I like the 'unavoidable' health kick as I'm usually too tired to cook but I manage. Going now to have some chicken and god knows what!!!!!! :-)
